Story
Hello!
We're (James and Zoe) getting married! Hurrah!
We are celebrating with at least 3 kinds of cake and a big ole' knees up
We've been living together for over 6 years and are lucky enough to have good jobs, a nice house filled with lots of lovely things and pretty much everything we need. Therefore in lieu of a wedding list we would like you to consider donating to one of three of our favourite charities:
Shelter - or - Discover - or - Calibre (this page)
James is asking for donations to Calibre Audio Library. It's a charity that supplies recorded books to those who cannot read printed books - people who are blind, partially sighted, dyslexic or have other disabilities.
Ever since I was a child I have loved listening to books from Calibre.My poor sight makes reading difficult and tiring for me. But for many people it is completely impossible. They are denied the enjoyment of reading as well as the learning experiences that go with it.
Calibre uses volunteer actors to record popular books on to tapes and CDs. The library staff then post out 4000 of these each day They are able to provide its service free to its 20,000 members only thanks to donations - every year it needs close to £1.5 million pounds just to keep going
I still find it exciting to find out which title has come through my door. It means I can read so much more than I otherwise would. Please help other young and old people who cannot access books to enhance the quality of their lives
Donate
Please give whatever you can - how small or big and you can do it anonymously if you would prefer. Then come and enjoy some guilt-free wedding cake with us (there's bound to be a flavour to suit!)
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Calibre and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
Thanks for taking the time to visit ourJustGiving page.
Zoe & James
